Beeno

You are in  a major jam - the DP have impeached in the house on flimsy evidence  which is dubious at best - but now a media outlet started by Billy Graham - the icon of Christianity I the USA said they support impeachment of Trump,

Now that is a new twist and the question arises - is it wise to mix politics and religion and then expect a reasonable outcome.   Beeno seems to think two things at the same time - that religion is our backbone and that politics is of equal importance - so now which side is he taking now?

Please note - I believe that politics and religion leads to a monster in a boiling pot - there has been more wars fought on religious issues in the history of Europe and the Middle East and North Africa than in the case of even economics and women,   All three is a deadly mix - I believe.  I stick with my principle - religion is a persons personal issue and should not prescribe to others what they think or may not think,

"I believe.  I stick with my principle - religion is a persons personal issue and should not prescribe to others what they think or may not think"

Maaik, even Jesus separated religion and governance ...and you are right, we shouldn't prescribe to others what to think...but that goes both ways.

I trust you are sorted on the issue Mike. Franklin Graham and evangelicals have roasted these communists parading as Christians. 

As Andrew Breitbart said Politics is downstream from culture. 

American Christians are overwhelmingly behind Trump. The alternative is the cultural marxist, progressive, globalist agenda. 

Any belief in God and His word will influence your politics. 

The Bible calls us to share God's truth and salvation with the world in season and out of season. There can be no hiding the light. Ones Christian faith in NOT a private matter. 

Yes you can't force anybody to believe. You can't make anybody born again. You personally can't save anybody. 

As for religion it is worthless.  No religion can save you. Only Christ the savior can do that. You are not saved by joining a Church or good works. You are either born again and have come to know Him or you are none of His. 

Christians are mostly peaceful people but in today's climate this sleeping giant needs to arise and thankfully many are. American Christians are waking up fast. 

On a personal note I don't give even a small dot what anybody thinks. Tough luck if what God's Word says offends you. Eg Folau and God's condemnation of homosexuality. - homosexuals will not go to heaven etc. 

Mike you go and read the Gospels and then tell me if people following the teachings of Christ, the Son of God, are responsible for Causing wars. 

Jesus Christ is God the Son. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by ME he said. Christ is the creator of all things. Through Him everything was made. 

He has no equal, no competitors. He will return to rule this world for a period. Every knee and every shall bow and acknowledge Jesus the Christ is LORD, to the Glory of the Father. He will  reign. 

Amen and amen. You see there is zero chance of a universe creating itself out of nothing as these foolish atheists think.
